I've been dealing with a pretty horrible ongoing health issue from the end of October (if I remember rightly). That's on top of the anaemia.
It really triggered my anxiety, very badly. And with the stress of it, I got ill at the start of December, which is right at the start of my busiest month working 6 days a week, 50/60 hour weeks, for the whole of December.
I've not had a chance to exercise since the end of October because of the ongoing health thing, and am really feeling the down side of it.
The person who was supposed to invite me to the work evening out on the 28 December, hasn't mentioned it to me. Either through forgetting, or because she's a bit ambivalent towards me. When we first worked together a few years ago, she was really lovely and friendly. The following year she was totally different towards me. If she sat next to me after work, she'd completely ignore me, be on her phone, give one word answers to anything I asked her. This year, she's neither very friendly, nor ignoring me.
Last year, I was forgotten from the company Christmas dinner company. The (different) person who was supposed to invite me forgot to mention it to me.
These things are also making me feel down.
On the plus side, the ongoing health issue seems to be under temporary control at least. I have an appointment with a new doctor at the end of January. And I'm starting to feel a bit better from being ill, although I'm not getting a chance to rest and recover at all so it's taking much longer than usual.
My Wonderful Man has been incredibly supportive. He even bought me some tins of soup that I could have during my break...the right number for the number of days in the week.
I just feel a bit sad that I was really looking froward to December and the work I had, and I've not been able to give it my usual, full amount of energy because of everything that's gone on with my health.
